I'm excited for all the events, have fun with the people around me, meet new people.

To have more confidence in myself and know that I can get anything that I put my mind to.
What are some of your best memories from attending previous Grafton Jacaranda Festivals?
I went on the Ferris wheel for the first time and I got scared and then laughed.
What is your favourite event to attend during the Grafton Jacaranda Festival and why?
All of them, they were so beautiful.
Should you receive the honour of being crowned during the 2026 Grafton Jacaranda Festival, which title will you choose, Junior King, Junior Queen, or Junior Ambassador?
I would make a good junior princess and ambassador because I'm doing it to be in our lovely history.

It would mean so much for our culture, our history, and our people.
